Henry Fitch, prosecuting, said Lloris had been driving at 15 miles per hour in a 30mph zone and veered "towards parked vehicles" before adjusting his course, also going through a red light. Police officers found vomit in the car.

The court heard that the goalkeeper had been out at a restaurant that evening, where he had been bought drinks by other customers.

David Sonn, defending, said the incident represented a "spectacular fall from grace" for the World Cup winner, who was not part of the Spurs squad for the loss at Watford earlier this month.

"On July 15 [when France won the World Cup] he was arguably the proudest man on the planet," Sonn said. "Just 40 days later, he was arrested.

"He experienced the indignity of being handcuffed and put in a police station overnight. The spectacular fall from grace is not lost on Mr. Lloris."

Earlier this week, Lloris told RMC: "Just like every man, I have a private life. I made a mistake, I have to accept it."
